Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended

Ideal for film, video, and multimedia professionals and graphic and web designers using 3D and motion, as well as professionals in engineering and science, Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended software delivers everything in Photoshop CS3 and more. Render and incorporate 3D images into your 2D composites. Stop time with easy editing of motion graphics on video layers. And probe your images with measurement, analysis, and visualization tools.


Nondestructive editing


Edit nondestructively with new Smart Filters, which let you visualize different image effects, and Smart Objects, which let you scale, rotate, and warp raster and vector graphics - all without altering the original pixel data.


Rich painting and drawing toolset


Create or modify images with a wide assortment of professional, fully customizable paint settings, artistic brushes, and drawing tools.


Advanced compositing


Create more accurate composites by automatically aligning multiple Adobe Photoshop layers or images based on similar content. The Auto-align Layers command quickly analyzes details and moves, rotates, or warps layers to align them perfectly, and the Auto-blend Layers command blends the color and shading to create a smooth, editable result.


3D compositing and texture editing


Easily render and incorporate rich 3D content into your 2D composites - even edit existing textures on 3D models directly within Photoshop Extended and immediately see the results. Photoshop Extended supports common 3D interchange formats, including 3DS, OBJ, U3D, KMZ, and COLLADA, so you can import, view, and interact with most 3D models.


Movie Paint


Enhance video directly within Photoshop Extended. Now you can paint, add text, and clone over multiple frames of an imported video sequence.


2D and 3D measurement tools


Extract quantitative information from images with new measurement tools. Easily calibrate or set the scale of an image, and then use any of the Photoshop Extended selection tools to define and calculate distance, perimeter, area, and other measurements. Record data points in a measurement log and export data, including histogram data, to a spreadsheet for further analysis.


Faster, more flexible asset management with Adobe Bridge CS3


Organize and manage images more efficiently with next-generation Adobe Bridge CS3 software , which now delivers improved performance, a Filter panel for easier searching, the ability to group multiple images under a single thumbnail, the Loupe tool, offline image browsing, and more.


Better raw-image processing


Process raw images with increased speed and superior conversion quality using the Photoshop Camera Raw plug-in, which now adds support for JPEG and TIFF formats; new tools including Fill Light and Dust Busting; compatibility with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom™ software; and support for over 150 camera models.


Enhanced Vanishing Point with 3D support


Edit in perspective on multiple surfaces - even those connected at angles other than 90 degrees - with the enhanced Vanishing Point, which also lets you measure in perspective; wrap graphics, images, and text around multiple planes; and output 2D planes as 3D models.


Wide range of supported formats


Import and export an even greater range of file formats, including PSD, BMP, DICOM, Cineon, JPEG, JPEG2000, OpenEXR, PNG, Targa, and TIFF.

Norton Ghost 14 - Do You Need Backup or Imaging?

If you bought Norton Ghost 12 because you heard it was a great way to image a whole drive, you might be surprised to hear it's really a backup application. If you want back up you may wonder what use there is for Ghost's imaging program. This duality may be enough to make you look elsewhere.


Introduction


I'm an old-school PC guy. I remember when Norton Ghost was useful for cloning an entire hard drive. This came in handy when you needed to get your PC back into a fixed configuration, maybe for system testing or for building an office full of identical PCs. But the current version of Ghost appears to target folk who just want a backup of their hard drive documents. Users looking for a real disk-imaging solution that delivers more functionality, and an excellent user interface should check out Acronis True Image 2009, the Bright Hub review is available here.


If you are one of these people you will likely be happy with the simple copy-all-the-files-to-another-place kind of backup solution, for which there is inexpensive, or free, software available. These simpler programs allow you to find your files later, even if they don't allow for some advanced functionality.


Ghost takes a different approach of packing all of the files to be backed up into a single image, which in turn needs Ghost when it's time to read back the files. While this approach allows for smaller backups (via compression), it's a complexity that most backup scenarios don't need, especially when compression formats like .zip are more widely available and would work much the same way.


Ghost has some nice touches, though. In addition to its imaging capabilities, you can mount backup files as if they were additional discs. Ghost also understands writable optical media and other backup type devices, and you can convert your backup files into VMWare discs, which is useful if you use that particular technology. Ghost also integrates with Google desktop search to find archived files.


User Interface Rating


What's Hot: Ghost's user interface is tab- and task-driven and very well laid out. The contents of each tab are obvious and almost all of them use a wizard-type approach to find the options you need.


What's Not: The only realy issue is that some of the wizards are a bit long. Though some of the options are hidden behind 'advanced' buttons it's still fairly complex for a simple backup.


Price to Value Rating


What's Hot: At the time of this review, Norton Ghost cost $70.


If you need a backup system that allows for some of the more advanced options listed in this review then Ghost is a pretty good value.


What's Not: If you're looking for a general backup system, or a hard drive copying program, there are better and cheaper alternatives.


Installation & Setup Rating


What's Hot: Ghost's installation is a standard windows installer. It checks drivers for all your hard drives to make sure they are compatilbe with Ghost and checks for, and installs, any updates from Symantec. It does install some drivers and requires a reboot.


What's Not: I'm always nervous when a program without hardware starts to install drivers. I would like to see an explanation of what functionality I lose if I choose not to install them.

Mainly Feasures of Adobe Photoshop

Adobe Photoshop is ideal for professional and amateur photographers and graphic designers. It has strong ties with other Adobe software for media editing, animation, and authoring. The .PSD (Photoshop Document), Photoshop's native format, stores an image with support for most imaging options available in Photoshop. These include layers with masks, color spaces, ICC profiles, transparency, text, alpha channels and spot colors, clipping paths, and duotone settings. This is in contrast to many other file formats (e.g. .EPS or .GIF) that restrict content to provide streamlined, predictable functionality. Photoshop's popularity means that the.PSD format is widely used, and it is supported to some extent by most competing software. The .PSD file format can be exported to and from Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Premiere Pro, and After Effects, to make professional standard DVDs and provide non-linear editing and special effects services, such as backgrounds, textures, and so on, for television, film, and the Web. Photoshop is a pixel-based image editor, unlike Adobe Illustrator, which is a vector-based image editor. Photoshop can utilize the color models RGB, lab, CMYK, grayscale, binary bitmap, and duotone. Photoshop has the ability to read and write raster and vector image formats such as .EPS, .PNG, .GIF, .JPEG, and Fireworks.


CS3




Smart Layers display the filter without altering the original image (here on Mac OS X) Photoshop CS3 is marketed with three main components of improvement over previous versions: "Work more productively, edit with unrivalled power, and composite with breakthrough tools."New features propagating productivity include streamlined interface, improved Camera Raw, better control over print options, enhanced PDF support, and better management with Adobe Bridge. Editing tools new to CS3 are the Clone Source palette and nondestructive Smart Filters, and other features such as the Brightness/Contrast adjustment and Vanishing Point module were enhanced. The Black and White adjustment option improves users control over manual grayscale conversions with a dialog box similar to that of Channel Mixer. Compositing is assisted with Photoshop's new Quick Selection and Refine Edge tools and improved.. image stitching technology.


CS3 Extended contains all features of CS3 plus tools for editing and importing some 3D graphics file formats, enhancing video, and comprehensive image analysis tools, utilizing MATLAB integration and DICOM file support.




CS4


Photoshop CS4 features additions such as the ability to paint directly on 3D models, wrap 2D images around 3D shapes, convert gradient maps to 3D objects, add depth to layers and text, get print-quality output with the new ray-tracing rendering engine, and enjoy exporting to supported common 3D formats; the new Adjustment and Mask Panels; Content-aware scaling (also known as seam carving; Fluid Canvas Rotation and File display options.On 30 April, Adobe released Photoshop CS4 Extended, which includes all the same features of Adobe Photoshop CS4 with the addition of capabilities for scientific imaging, 3D, and high end film and video users. The successor to Photoshop CS3, Photoshop CS4, is the first 64-bit Photoshop on consumer computers. (only Windows. The OS-X version is still 32-bit only)
